Dragon Mythbusters: The Dragon 200E!
Re: Dragon Mythbusters: The Dragon 200E!
Just tried the latest snapshot (22-Nov-2013 08:46). Shift+# (Shift+@ pause) is not working in translation mode.
Re: Dragon Mythbusters: The Dragon 200E!
I missed that because my keyboard has tilde above backquote, which is used for CLEAR.
Reinstated, along with Shift+Space (for keyboards like mine, where tilde shares a key that isn't translated).
(Translates differently for D200E).

The attached ROM dump of the CoCo Downland v1.1 cartridge does not work under CoCo 1 or 2 emulation when the RAM is set greater than 16K. It works OK with the earlier XROAR snap-20130309.
I used the following command line settings:
CoCo 1
xroar -vo sdl -machine cocous -bas bas11.rom -extbas extbas10.rom -nodos -ram 16 -kbd-translate (game works)
xroar -vo sdl -machine cocous -bas bas11.rom -extbas extbas10.rom -nodos -ram 32 -kbd-translate (game crashes)
xroar -vo sdl -machine cocous -bas bas11.rom -extbas extbas10.rom -nodos -ram 32 -kbd-translate (game crashes)
CoCo 2
xroar -vo sdl -machine cocous -bas bas12.rom -extbas extbas11.rom -nodos -ram 16 -kbd-translate (game works)
xroar -vo sdl -machine cocous -bas bas12.rom -extbas extbas11.rom -nodos -ram 32 -kbd-translate (game crashes)

It won't load the attached game. The game loads OK under T3 and PC-Dragon emulation.

I can't replicate this. Can you confirm your ROM CRCs?zephyr wrote:The attached ROM dump of the CoCo Downland v1.1 cartridge does not work under CoCo 1 or 2 emulation when the RAM is set greater than 16K. It works OK with the earlier XROAR snap-20130309.

Code: Select all
BASIC CRC = 0x6270955a
Extended BASIC CRC = 0x6111a086

Or maybe I'm not testing it properly - is there a particular point at which it crashes? I'm generally able to traverse a couple of screens.
Re: Dragon Mythbusters: The Dragon 200E!
I'd say that was a malformed cassette image - if it won't load into a real Dragon after a simple audio conversion, XRoar can only do "best efforts". Many bad dumps work, the occasional one falls through all the heuristics...zephyr wrote:It won't load the attached game. The game loads OK under T3 and PC-Dragon emulation.
However, extending the leaders (or indeed adding any at all) at various points in the file, leads to a version that will load - version after -tape-rewrite attached.
I've actually already ripped this game from an original tape - the bytestream seems to be different, but the end result of loading is identical. File in here:

Re: Dragon Mythbusters: The Dragon 200E!
My ROMs are the original dumps. It only happens when you use Ctrl+I. The game works OK if you use Crl+L followed by EXEC&HC000.sixxie wrote:I can't replicate this.

Aha! I can reproduce that, ta. (I was running it as an argument from the command line).zephyr wrote: My ROMs are the original dumps. It only happens when you use Ctrl+I. The game works OK if you use Crl+L followed by EXEC&HC000.
Re: Dragon Mythbusters: The Dragon 200E!
Ok, think that's fixed. Probably time to push out the 200-E supporting version as a proper release...
